Newborn skin reflection: Proof of concept for a new approach for predicting gestational age at birth. A cross-sectional study [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Current methods to assess the gestational age during prenatal care or at birth are a global challenge. Disadvantages, such as low accessibility, high costs, and imprecision of clinical tests and ultrasonography measurements, may compromise health decisions at birth, based on the gestational age. Newborns organs and tissues can indirectly indicate their

Low-dimensional representation of infant and adult vocalization acoustics [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
During the first years of life, infant vocalizations change considerably, as infants develop the vocalization skills that enable them to produce speech sounds. Characterizations based on specific acoustic features, protophone categories, or phonetic transcription are able to provide a representation of the sounds infants make at different ages and in ...
